Dear Gua
Chapter 6 He's More Than Just a Technical Midfielder?
The two simply gave each other a high five.
Teammates excitedly surrounded them.
"Li, great pass!"
"If you passed it to me, I could have kicked it in too!"
Bayer Leverkusen had long been suppressed by Borussia Monchengladbach in the youth league.
The last match ended with them conceding five goals!
Li Kang's through ball really relieved the Bayer Leverkusen youngsters!
Before they had time to celebrate.
Everyone heard Coach Topp's shouts.
On the sidelines.
The old man with the frizzy hair made a few gestures.
The youngsters understood.
On the other side.
Borussia Monchengladbach's youth team coach, Jo Boettinger, frowned.
He didn't reveal any negative emotions.
He loudly encouraged his players.
...
The game restarted at the center circle.
The Borussia Monchengladbach youngsters were impatient.
They couldn't accept being "retaliated" against by their former underdogs.
That black-haired, yellow-skinned kid was just lucky!
As soon as the kickoff happened, the Borussia Monchengladbach youth team launched a frantic attack.
Their coordination was fluid, and their positioning was reasonable.
They didn't encounter any interception during the advance.
Bayer Leverkusen's formation steadily retreated.
"Brothers, did you see that? Bayer Leverkusen is chickening out! Borussia Monchengladbach will soon be pressing into the penalty area and destroying them!"
"Stay calm, turning the score is easy! Steady!"
"Just a token goal in advance, Borussia Monchengladbach is about to start a massacre!"
...
The Bayer Leverkusen fans in the stands couldn't help but feel worried.
This scene was too familiar.
In previous youth team clashes, Bayer Leverkusen had always been beaten like this by Borussia Monchengladbach!
Su Xiaonuan noticed that the little friends around her were no longer cheering.
She asked, puzzled, "Hanna, we haven't lost a goal yet, have we?"
A German girl named Hanna tossed her hair and said, "One Li Kang can't change anything. Our positional defense is very poor, especially against high balls. The opponents have too many big guys!"
Su Xiaonuan nodded, seemingly understanding.
She hadn't paid much attention to the youth team's matches.
She wasn't concerned about winning or losing.
She wasn't there to watch the game anyway.
On the sidelines.
Coach Topp had an eager expression.
He muttered to himself.
Like an old swindler casting a spell.
...
Just when everyone thought Borussia Monchengladbach was going to press Bayer Leverkusen into their penalty area for a siege.
An amazing scene appeared!
The ball advanced to the thirty-meter area.
With a shout from Coach Topp.
The Bayer Leverkusen youngsters began a frantic pressing!
The Borussia Monchengladbach youth team youngsters were a little confused:
That old fox, Topp! Playing this game?
Are we, the overlords of the German youth league, afraid of pressing?
They immediately tried to speed up the passing!
But they found something was wrong!
The other side's Dragon Descendant kid seemed to see through everything.
That guy, while pressing.
Also sealed off Borussia Monchengladbach's passing route in the frontcourt!
....
In the stands of the Ulrich Haberland Stadium, cheers erupted again!
When the ball came to the feet of Borussia Monchengladbach's center forward.
Li Kang turned around and quickly rushed over, displaying extreme aggression.
No fierce physical contact!
No greasy little tricks!
Just a clean and neat extension of his foot.
Easily stole the ball!
In the God's-eye view.
Borussia Monchengladbach's backcourt was wide open!
Pop!
He decisively sent a long pass.
While desperately sprinting forward!
...
On the sidelines.
Coach Topp jumped up excitedly and said incoherently, "The Dragon Descendant kid has gotten rid of his bad habit of sticking to the ball! Look! The choice of this counter-attack long pass is so damn reasonable... What has he been eating these days? How has his speed become so fast?"
The assistant coach stared intently at the field and replied haphazardly, "He hasn't eaten anything strange. He just went out to eat some Chinese food with Havertz!"
On the other side.
Jo Boettinger said in surprise, "He can not only play tiki-taka, but also play defensive counter-attacks? He observed our weak side in the moment of offense-defense transition! What's his name?"
...
Havertz received Li Kang's pass near the center circle.
With a change of direction, he easily shook off Borussia Monchengladbach's defender.
He sprinted towards the opponent's half.
Borussia Monchengladbach's high defensive line desperately turned around to chase!
Havertz's football IQ is also very high.
He quickly observed Li Kang's position.
The outside of his foot heavily kicked the lower left of the ball!
An arc was drawn in the sky above Ulrich Haberland Stadium!
The Bayer Leverkusen fans couldn't help but want to celebrate!
If this ball is passed to Li Kang's feet.
It would be a one-on-one!
Too bad.
The force was a little too strong!
Li Kang, who was sprinting, slowed down slightly, adjusted his steps, and then steadily controlled the ball under his feet.
The opponent's big defender had already caught up!
Early maturity.
Broad shoulders and a thick waist.
His head was even bigger than Li Kang's butt!
Amidst the exclamations of the entire stadium.
He fiercely crashed into Li Kang!
Bang!
No one saw what happened.
The strong Borussia Monchengladbach youngster staggered and fell to the ground.
Li Kang forcefully pushed the ball away.
Rushing towards Borussia Monchengladbach's penalty area!
At the moment when the opponent's goalkeeper hesitated to attack.
His body leaned slightly.
He raised his left foot.
An impeccable shooting motion.
Made the ball like an arrow leaving the string, piercing the goal of Borussia Monchengladbach's youth team!
The score was changed again!
2:0!!!
The Ulrich Haberland Stadium, with only a few hundred spectators, was boiling!
In the stands, someone took the lead in shouting the word on the back of the Dragon Descendant kid's jersey!
Gradually.
The whole stadium was excitedly shouting that name in unison!
"Li!!!"
"Li!!!"
"Li!!!"
Li Kang turned to look at the stands and smiled.
This was the first time he had scored a goal in a match, and he didn't know what celebration to use.
His teammates rushed up, shouting and screaming.
These two goals were too enjoyable!
Borussia Monchengladbach was like the bad kid next door, rubbing them on the ground since the U14 team!
...
Coach Topp rubbed his face and said, "Take Li Kang off! It's too damn magical! When did this kid learn to use his body? The power of this shot is definitely among the best in the youth league!"
The assistant coach asked in confusion, "But, it's only been less than twenty minutes since the start of the game..."
"Idiot! Didn't you see the eyes of those Borussia Monchengladbach kids? They can't wait to eat Li Kang! Don't forget their ferocity every time they play against Bayern Munich's youth team!"
In Coach Topp's eyes.
A youth team match was not worth Li Kang risking being fouled to continue playing.
In case of any serious injury, Voller, that unreasonable bully, would definitely be furious.
....
Dragon Country Live Room.
The small streamer was stunned for a long time.
"Brothers, I was wrong, Li Kang is too awesome! He is not only a technical midfielder, but also a power-type... what was it called?"
"Follow me! Bayer Leverkusen's youth team is a bright light this season! With Brother Li here! Absolutely stable!"
A moment later.
When he saw Li Kang being substituted off the field.
He was dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Why was Brother Li taken off? Oh, my..."
"The coach of Bayer Leverkusen's youth team is an idiot!"
"Fixed game!"
